Anglo-Catholic rite?

[Hoonbaba]

Hi,

I was wondering about the Anglo-Catholic rite/liturgy:

What do they use on a typical sunday?

And where specifically can I read through the entire order of the Anglo-Catholic Mass? I feel like I'm blind and can't find it in the Book of Common Prayer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

There's not one specific rite for the Anglo-catholic services. Here's a few links which should explain in part some of the anglican services.

My home church uses this service (it's a broad to high church)
http://www.cofe.anglican.org/commonworship/hc/orderone.html
It is just a very standard order of service taken from the book of common worship, used throughout the church of england. And here's a link to all the common worship services http://www.cofe.anglican.org/commonworship/nav/subjects.html

Here's a link to the Anglican liturgical library, providing links to many liturgies used throughout the word

Ah ha, just found a link for you.

Hope that's of some help.

When I was still in college, the Episcopal Church I went to was High Church. During the Mass, we did:

4-5 hymns
Two Collects
The Gloria or the Kyrie (always sung)
Two Lessons (usually one OT/Deuterocanonicals and one Epistle/Acts/Revelation)
One Psalm (always chanted)
One Gospel
The Creed
Confession and Reconciliation
Prayers for the People
The Peace
Choir's Antham during the Collection
The Doxology (always sung)
The Liturgy of the Eucharist, during which, we...
1. Said the "Our Father"
2. Said the Great Amen (always sung, actually)
3. Received the real Body and real Blood (we believe in the Real Presence of the Christ in the elements like you Catholics)
Post Communal Prayer
Announcements

Of course, this list is hardly in order, but it gives you an idea. In the church, we also had the bells, but no smells (except on one occasion, where we celebrated the anniversary of the parish's birth).

[Polycarp1]

It's less in shared ritual than in personal piety that Anglo-Catholics are distinguished from other Anglicans, who share their commitment to the Eucharist and to an apostolic, sacramental theology. For example, I customarily use the triple signing of forehead, lips, and heart with right thumb at the announcement of the Gospel (and, a personal devotion, use the signing of heart from that at the "Purify the thoughts of our hearts" in the Collect for Purity that begins the Eucharist). I make a profound bow at the Epiclesis, the invocation of the Holy Spirit upon the Bread and Wine that they may be the Body and Blood of Christ.

But it's interesting that the American Church's Eucharistic Prayer D (which begins at the bottom of this page (http://www.holycross-raleigh.org/bcp/372.html), is almost verbatim identical to one of the contemporary Catholic Eucharistic Prayers from the Paul VI Sacramentary. (BA, could you supply a reference?)
